I heard tonight that Toledo is starting the recruitment process. 18 months worth for a class tenative for 2009. We will have by then over 300 elgible for retirement. We already have over 200. Fill out an intrest card at Government Center on the 19th floor.

I am not sure on the number to be hired but we potentially have one or two openings in the next month. There is also plans to hire 2 additional firefighter/paramedics next fiscal year. We will also be staffing a second station in the next 1-2 years.

Yea, i signed up to take Akron's test. I also just received my results from Elyria. Anyone else take Elyria's? I am curious as to what got people into like the top 15, since I did well but still fell back spots after my interview.
